FINTECH&WINE BCN: SMART CONTRACTS

Date: December 13rdWhere: El Petit Celler

The basis of banking is trust. While pundits argue that banks and financial institutions lost the customer’s trust following the 2007-2008 financial crisis,it is also feasible to accept the notion that customers need banking services regardless of who provides it. In this context, the idiom “better the devil you know” may be what financial institutions are counting on to bring customers back to the fold. Of course what most banks did not count was the ingenuity of a small community of software programmers to create and propagate the Blockchain principles and with it the concept of smart contracts.
